Roger Waters - amused to death
Uploaded by: johnnysarthouse
Video Description:
A video interpretation of Amused to Death, the title track of the brilliant album by Roger Waters. Thrown together from clips and photos aquired from wherever. Also on my video selection, from the same album an interpretation of "what god wants" pt3.... worth a watch if you're into RW.
Enjoy.
Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me This supermarket life is getting long What is the heart life of a colour TV What is the shelf life of a teenage queen Ooh western woman Ooh western girl News hound sniffs the air When Jessica Hahn goes down He latches on to that symbol Of detachment Attracted by
the peeling away of feeling The celebrity of the abused shell the belle Ooh western woman Ooh western girl And the children of Melrose Strut their stuff Is absolute zero cold enough And out in the valley warm and clean The little ones sit by their TV screens No thoughts to think No tears to cry All
sucked dry Down to the very last breath Bartender what is wrong with me Why am I so out of breath The captain said excuse me ma'am This species has amused itself to death Amused itself to death Amused itself to death We watched the tragedy unfold We did as we were told We bought and sold It was the

feelings left This species has amused itself to death

I am troubled by the world I live in and Waters simply puts the these difficulties to music. I am reminded of the closing words of "The Deerslayer" by James Fenimore Cooper. "We live in a world of transgressions and selfishness and no pictures that represent us otherwise can be true; though happ
ily for human nature, gleamings of that pure spirit in whose likeness man has been fashioned, are to be seen, relieving its deformities, and mitigating, if not excusing its crimes"....
